"I am an only child so I have no brother, not to mention someone who looks like him?" Amos replied while glaring at him.
"Also, how could you say that we are alike? From what I have seen I don't think we have anything in common," Amos said with a tone of finality.
"You are so alike. From the way two of you praised yourselves without an ounce of shame…," Joanna paused what she wanted to say when she got a glimpse of the bite mark scar just below Raymond's right nipple.
As if being hypnotized, she reached out her hand and touched the scar. Her actions left Amos bewildered.
"You also have this scar too," she muttered. There was so much gentleness in her gaze as she touched the guy's bare body.
Raymond stared at the lady who couldn't seem to get her hand off his body.
"Joan, what do you think…," What Raymond did next left Amos' mouth hanging open in shock.
Raymond pulled her closer and embraced her tightly.
"How have you been, Miss Butterfly," Raymond whispered as he pats her silk hair affectionately.
She stayed in his embrace for a minute.
When she realised what had happened Joanna pushed him away.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?" Joanna shouted angrily as she crossed her hand around his chest.
"Miss…," Amos stepped forward and punched Raymond in the face before he had the chance to utter a word.

"You have made a headline yesterday and I think that is enough attention," Joanna said, not letting go of his hand.
Raymond buttoned up his shirt and asked the crowd to disperse after what happened.
He turned and faced Joanna after he had successfully driven the crowd away.
"Didn't you find the scar familiar? Isn't that the reason you touched me?" He demanded in a calm tone.
"You know what…," Raymond trailed as he looked her in the eye.
"You have indeed become prettier and taller from the last time we met but I recognized you at first glance thanks to your rare purple orbs," asserted Raymond. He raised his hand to touch her eyelids but Joanna walked backwards.
"Maybe, the reason why I decided not to talk when you mistook me for a dumb person was that I wanted you to recognise me too…,"
"We haven't met before so what nonsense is this?" Joanna cut in rudely.
"If that's how you hit on girls and you thought she was an easy target then you are wrong…,"
"Can you shift because as far as I know, I wasn't talking to you," the annoyed Raymond retorted. He brought his gaze back to Joanna's face.
"You…,"
"Since you find the scar familiar, can you try to recall where you saw it?" Raymond quizzed. He chose to ignore Amos despite that he was as angry as him.
Amos had to hold himself back too when Joanna gave him a cautionary stare.
Raymond was desperate for Joanna to remember him so he began telling her about their encounter in the past.
"Your leg must be hurting like hell so sit down here hmmm," Amos interrupted as he led her to the bench.
Joanna did as he advised. She raised her gaze to look at Raymond who had momentarily paused his narration because of her.
"I can still recall that you turned around and bit me right here when you couldn't endure the pain anymore," Raymond said smiling as he touched the spot he had the bite mark on his body.
"You were ten years when this happened so it's kinda understandable if you can't recall….,"
"I don't have a poor memory alright," Joanna cut in.
Raymond walked closer, bent and held the hand of the lady sitting on the bench with her injured bird on her thighs.
"Does that mean you remember now?" Raymond asked with hope in his eyes.
"As gentle as the radiating early morning sun rays and yet very beautiful…," Joanna said while looking into Raymond's eyes.
"I am called Ray, as in Raymond," Joanna and Raymond chorused, both smiling.
"Wow… you have finally remembered me. That's great!" Raymond shouted in excitement. He let go of Joanna's hands and embraced her instead.
[Why is he very touchy? He touches her at every slight opportunity and doesn't hesitate to try and flirt with her in my presence. Why do I feel like he is gonna end up causing problems for me?]
Amos lifted his hand to pull him away but had to retract his hand when his eyes met Joanna's piercing glares.
"You can't blame me for failing to recognise you. I mean when we met you were this tall but now look at how perfect you look. Now you are even taller than Big Sis," Joanna joked as she pats his back.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer smile shone the brightest as she continued embracing the guy she hasn't seen for close to a decade now.
Raymond pulled away from her embrace. "Why are you still calling yourself Big Sis even until now huh?" Raymond demanded with his lips pouted like that of a displeased child.
"I am this tall and handsome, aren't you convinced now that I am older than you?" Raymond asked.
"So what if you are a bit taller than me now huh?" Joanna asked. She couldn't stop smiling for some reason and Amos, who is now the one ignored, noticed this.
He wasn't very happy with this development but he had no choice but to deal with it with gritted teeth.
"Also, don't you know that once a Big Sis is always a Big Sis…,"
"Hehehe… where did you learn that from hmm," Raymond gave his most bewitching smile. He acted as if he didn't notice Amos' piercing glares which were focused on him.
"Joan, do you know this liar?" Amos asked as he sat down beside Joanna on the bench. He tried to catch her attention once more but Raymond seems to have made up his mind not to give him even that.
"We have talked so much and you couldn't grasp anything from what we said? Are you that dumb…," Joanna's fierce glares made Raymond pause his sentence midway?
